Advent is a special times for people of faith at Christmas time! It is a time to reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and a wonderful time to prepare your heart for Jesus.
There are so many great books and/or devotions for this special time of the year. I have read several of these and many are on my to read list. I try to pick at least one advent type book to read every year in December.
Anytime I’m writing books on faith I like to remind you that we all come from different denominations, we may worship different and we may or may not agree with certain authors. The only author that is perfect is God himself so nothing replaces the Bible and if there is only time for one book it should be that one! So scan the list and see what appeals to you and know that it all won’t and that is totally ok!
